| - Maybe I shouldn't be writing this review based on one bad experience but whatever, you'll be the one to judge.
So I took the cab from broadview station to the westin, the ride was about average for most of the way, guy was quiet and drove. I had a funny feeling though.
as we got to the westin, I asked him to pull up on the other side of the street, he said ok and seemed to understand but continued to drive for about 4 blocks to the harborfront community center. At this point I asked if he was going to turn around (or maybe he was just going to keep driving until we hit vancouver?) so he asked "make a U-turn here?" um, yeah or you could have just let me cross the fucking street by myself instead of driving around like a clueless idiot for an extra 20 minutes.
he clearly knew that I wanted to get off at the hotel, I told him about 3 times, he SAW the hotel and I asked him to leave me on the other side of the street, I don't get how he could have misunderstood that.
So eventually I ended up in the other side of the street and my bill was $28 dollars, I paid him $25 and tipped him with a cold stare. Really though I should've given him $20
Perhaps I should have noticed sooner, but I have never driven a car in my life and especially not on queens quay, I assumed that it is a bitch to make a U-turn on this street.
on the way home I took the royal taxi, it cost $19 and drove me a few blocks further to my house, I'm going to avoid beck unless they are the only ones there, I'm sure their drivers arent all incompetent morons, but this has left its mark on me.
